I always thought that Horace Kendricks ran single drive axle Foden 8 leggers but this shot would seem to show that this Foden is a double drive !

I think it was only their later Foden S80 models that were single drive, I remember reading in a magazine somewhere that he opted for that as site conditions had improved considerably.

Thanks for the gen Pete , wasn’t Kendricks traffic more industrial like scrap, pig iron etc and not building industry materials , sand and gravel etc. so they would always have been on decent hard surfaces ? Cheers Dennis.
Every 8whlr I drove, tipper n brick, were double drive, I think the only time I used the diflock was on snow bound roads. Of course with Fodens it was a given ! Cheers coomsey
Certainly the London Brick eight wheeler Foden I used to go out in was only single drive, it had a very unusual back axle that could be lifted a couple of inches (not a proper lift axle) which helped when on muddy surfaces but was still a problem on some sites.

In colour.
London Brick also operated 8x2 Volvo F86’s.
Thanks for that Dean! 
Hello lads,Nice to see the old thread reserected…loads of good stuff been put on,it was a shame I ran out of good clippings from the old Commercial Motors,Motor Transports etc but Dean keeps finding stuff so that keeps the nostalgia going.I’ve thrown out the clippings now when I cleared my garage out during lockdown plus basically all my collection of magazines too 
…I did keep a copy of most of what I posted on this thread in a folder so I can still look back…its a shame a lot of the pictures have the Photobucket watermark across them,perhaps I should repost them 
.Buzzer and co ,keep posting lads,
Cheers Bubbs,

A farm I worked on had a Mastiff with a trailing axle on some kind of air suspension that could be eased off road, tight cornering or shunting. Still not good off road.
